Before, I go into my diatribe, I was inspired, uplifted and encouraged by this post from Webmaster and Blogging whip Jay Roberts. Read it and feel the Glory!
…Good day my droogies. It has been a little while since I last posted beyond a little update of my weekends so I thought what the glory, why not?! Today I had the day off and was eager to start an eight-page paper and get it finished before the weekend so I would have no worries about school for the next few days but, sadly I did not do it. It’s not because I am one of those people who put things off till last minute believe me, if anything I am always engrossed in time. Time for this and time for that but, it also comes as a double-standard as most things do in my life, I plan ahead for everything, except when it comes to making a schedule of things I will do on a weekend or when will I go off hunting, or when I will make a list of my favorite actors and actresses for Rachael. I did mention though that everything I do has a double-standard almost. Now when it comes to important things, I always plan ahead, ask any of my friends or family. If you were to check the trunk of my car it would give you the idea that I could flee the country overnight, sleeping bag, food, water, clothes and other odds and ends. Or my planned road trip with Rachael in the year 2020. Even though we don’t care to admit it we all have double-standards, double-standards when it comes to classes (We will study hard for one but, if one is less important to us or if it is a bird class we will rarely attend) work and pretty much every other aspect of our lives. If you don’t believe it think to yourself of your best friend, girlfriend, fiancée, mechanic…For example: (I am going to use my good pal because, it’s a double-standard anyone else would get pissed off.) I let Jay (webmaster extraordinaire) borrow one of my cd’s for the radio show (I think it was probably a Toasters album) and I know Jay he didn’t mean to but, he held onto it for probably three months before, I got it back. If you know me, I am anal-retentive when it comes to my music collection, if something is missing for more than a few hours, I will know and will kick ass and take names to the person who took my stuff but, it being Jay I could’ve cared less. He’s my friend: A double-standard. Aren’t you glad that God doesn’t care whether it’s the Pope or John Q. Hobo we’re all the same in His eyes?!
As Romans 3:9-12 reads:
“What shall we conclude then? Are we any better? Not at all! We have already made the charge that Jews and Gentiles alike are all under sin.
As it is written:
“There is no one righteous, not even one;
there is no one who understands,
no one who seeks God.
All have turned away,
they have together become worthless;
there is no one who does good,
not even one.”
I for one am glad of this. So all I have to really say when this all boils down is: Instead of living a double-standard, live like Christ. I know harder than it sounds but, press on, press on.
